Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 9, 2014, Gladstone Land Corporation (the “Company”), as parent guarantor, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gladstone Land Limited Partnership (the “Borrower”), as borrower, closed on a mortgage loan facility and a revolving line of credit with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) for an aggregate amount of up to $125.0 million (the “New Credit Facility”). The New Credit Facility consists of a $100.0 million long-term note payable (the “New Note Payable”) and a $25.0 million revolving equity line of credit (the “New Line of Credit”), represented by a Loan Agreement and two Promissory Notes, each dated April 30, 2014.

The New Note Payable is scheduled to mature on January 5, 2029, and advances will initially bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum, plus an unused fee of 0.20% on undrawn amounts. The interest rate for subsequent disbursements will be based on prevailing market rates at the time of such disbursements. The interest rates on the initial advance and any subsequent disbursements will be subject to adjustment every three years. If the Borrower has not drawn the full commitment amount of $100.0 million by December 31, 2016, MetLife has the option to be relieved of its obligation to disburse the additional funds under this loan.

The New Line of Credit is scheduled to mature on April 5, 2024, and advances will initially bear interest at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 2.50%, with a minimum annualized rate of 2.75%, plus an unused fee of 0.20% on undrawn amounts. The interest rate spread on borrowings under the New Line of Credit will be subject to adjustment in April 2017.

Under the New Credit Facility, the Borrower may borrow up to 58% of the aggregate of the lower of cost or the appraised value of the real property pledged as collateral under the Loan Agreement.

The New Credit Facility replaces a Loan Agreement dated December 30, 2012, by and among MetLife and certain subsidiaries of the Company, as amended (the “Prior Note Payable”), and a Loan Agreement dated May 23, 2012, by and between MetLife and San Andreas Road Watsonville, LLC, as borrower, and the Company, as guarantor, dated May 23, 2012 (the “Prior Line of Credit”), and the promissory notes entered into in connection therewith (the Prior Note Payable and the Prior Line of Credit and related promissory notes, collectively, the “Prior Facility”). The Prior Note Payable provided mortgage financing in an amount not to exceed $45.2 million and was scheduled to mature on January 5, 2026. The Prior Line of Credit provided a revolving line of credit in an amount up to $4.8 million and was scheduled to mature on April 5, 2017.

As part of the New Credit Facility, the Company paid loan fees in the aggregate of $220,500. A portion of the proceeds from the New Credit Facility will be used to repay amounts owed under the Prior Facility. The Company intends to utilize the remaining availability under the New Credit Facility to acquire additional farmland and for general corporate purposes.

Similar to the Prior Facility, the continuing ability to borrow under the New Credit Facility will be subject to the ongoing compliance of the Company, the Borrower and their respective subsidiaries with various affirmative and negative covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, mergers and asset sales. The New Credit Facility also requires that the Company and Borrower satisfy financial covenants on a consolidated basis at the end of each calendar quarter, including:

The New Credit Facility includes customary representations and warranties of the Company and the Borrower, which must continue to be true and correct in all material respects as a condition to future draws. The New Credit Facility also includes customary events of default in certain cases subject to customary notice or cure rights, following which, amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility may be accelerated.

Amounts owing under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and each subsidiary of the Company that owns a property pledged as collateral pursuant to the Loan Agreement and other loan documents.
